Chapter 104 - 104 Exchanging blows
Shun Long didn"t know who this man was but judging from the crowd"s reactions, he was definitely not a pushover.
Walking back inside the arena, he stared at Ren Gui waiting to hear what he wanted to say.
Ren Gui looked at Shun Long as he asked in an arrogant and overbearing tone
""Do you know what your crime is brat? There are very few people in the "outer city" that have dared to not give me, Ren Gui any face.
I don"t give a f.u.c.k if you want to fight with small fries like Xiao Juyan and Lei Pong, but since you dared to slap my woman, you better be prepared to pay the price.""
The moment that Ren Gui finished speaking, he instantly kicked the ground as he rushed at Shun Long.
Shun Long had just now understood, that this was the person ranked 7th in the arena rankings, when he saw Ren Gui practically flying at him.
Ren Gui roared as he sent a powerful punch at Shun Long"s c.h.e.s.t, who in return crossed his arms in an X-shape to block.
Ren Gui"s punch sent Shun Long off the ground, as he then slid for more than 10 meters backwards, until he managed to stabilized himself.
Shun Long was shocked. How powerful did this man have to be, to send him sliding for 10m until he could stop?
Since Shun Long had advanced to the middle of the second stage in the "Monarch"s Eternal body" he was certain that he could easily defeat anyone below even the 8th rank in earth grade.
""It looks like this person is also a body refiner, and one that has already reached the peak of the second stage!"" Shun Long thought as he felt his arms slightly aching after taking Ren Gui"s punch
""This kid managed to take my punch when he is just at the middle of the second stage in body refinement? How is this possible?""
Both Ren Gui and Fu Peizhi however, were even more shocked than Shun Long.
Everyone in the top 100 rankings knew, that Ren Gui wasn"t just someone at the peak of the second stage in body refinement. He had already reached the peak of this level for the past 2 years, and was just a step away from entering the third stage.
A third stage body refiner was just as strong if not stronger than a Heaven grade cultivator.
After his astonishment, Ren Gui actually laughed as he said
""Then let"s see which of us is stronger brat!"" before he once again sent another punch at Shun Long.
Shun Long activated his golden eyes as well as his "Monarch"s Domain", and after avoiding Ren Gui"s punch that had just brushed past his shoulder, he sent his own punch right at Ren Gui"s abdomen.
Ren Gui flinched, as he took 2 steps backwards, pain coloring his face.
""I actually felt pain from the punch of a middle-second stage brat?""
Both Shun Long and Ren Gui didn"t accept this outcome as they both stared at each other.
However, before they could move again, their "sect identifying jades" as well as Fu Peizhi"s, all lit up at the same time.
All 3 of them took out their sect jades, and received the same message.
Ren Gui snorted as he then said in an annoyed tone
""Your luck may have saved you today but this isn"t over just yet.""
Then, without even waiting for a reply, he left the arena as he headed towards the "inner city" gates.
The crowd was astonished as they watched Ren Gui turn to leave so suddenly since the fight had barely begun, when Fu Peizhi"s voice sounded from the audience seats as he looked at Shun Long and said
""You seem to be very lucky. Not only did you manage to avoid fighting Ren Gui, but we also don"t have the time to fight ourselves.""
The crowd saw that Fu Peizhi seemed to be provoking Shun Long and got excited once again
""It"s senior brother Fu!""
""Does Fu Peizhi want to fight with Shun Long?""
""I think so. I heard that senior brother Fu came here 3 days ago to take revenge for Lei Pong, but Shun Long didn"t seem to accept his challenge.""
Shun Long turned his head and stared at Fu Peizhi as he said
""Lucky? Then let"s see who the lucky one really is. I also have a few things that I have to settle with you.""
Fu Peizhi seemed to have been caught off-guard before he then asked angrily
""Do you think that I am Xiao Juyan? Understand that you and I are not on the same level! You won"t even be able to last 5 moves against me! I told you before, didn"t I? In front of me, you and everyone else below the top 20 are all ants.""
Little Black"s mocking voice then sounded inside Shun Long"s head as he said
""How laughable. Merely at the middle of rank 9 earth grade and he views everyone below him as ants.""
The crowd also seemed to have been angered by Fu Peizhi"s words, but as he swept his eyes over everyone, all the disciples in the audience just lowered their heads.
Shun Long however, smirked as he looked at him and said
""Then, a week from now Fu Peizhi, watch how I squash your worldview.""
""HAHAHAHA!""
Fu Peizhi laughed as he left the arena, as he headed towards the "inner city" gates.
Shun Long didn"t pay any more attention to Fu Peizhi as he asked little Black
""Did you find their location?""
""I did, master. They are inside a large inn about 20 miles on our east. Are we going to do it now?""
Shaking his head Shun Long said
""I would love to take care of them now, but the sect master ordered for all the disciples within the top 1000 ranks to gather in front of the "inner city" immediately.""
After taking a deep breath, Shun Long"s eyes turned golden as he continued ""However, I will not give them a chance to live for even one more day.""
Shun Long then left the arena, under the respectful gazes of all the disciples in the crowd, as he headed towards the "inner city" gates where the sect master had ordered for everyone to gather.
